Guidelines for achieve maximum efficiency of space usage in architecture, Case study : Classroom and Multi-purpose Building, Rajamangala University of Technology Rattanakosin

Abstract

This research is to study the Architectural Morphology of Architectural space of classroom and multi-purpose building, which measure in the space usage analysis of the building. By using Space Syntax technique as a tool for analysis physical of space. The result was as follows: 1. Spatial Analysis of the potential and movement networks by using Space Syntax tool to analyse morphological structure, found that most space locate in corridor area have high visibility and accessibility potential and integrate with total areas but the connection to each rooms have low accessibility potential and segregate from total areas, especially toilet and fire exit, including narrow paths. The wide spaces, found that, there're high potential which different from the classroom. 2. Activity Pattern Analysis, collect data by observation tool. Found that space usage for contract activities such as meeting, exhibition, freshman activity and recreation activity, most of these activities happen on continuation corridor and entrance paths especially main routes such as in front of multi-purpose building space which connect to elevator corridor and lobby. The result shows that the most of building space usage pattern consist of user's behavior that can used as a guideline in determining the form of building spaces efficiently.
